The objective of Norway’s development policy is to fight poverty and bring about social justice. In its budget for 2009, the Government achieved its target of allocating 1 percent of gross national income (GNI) to international development. This budget post has been increased by NOK 3.9 billion and totals NOK 26.2 billion for this year.

The United Nations Association of Norway (UNA Norway) provides information on topics related to the United Nations, and relevant international issues. The organisation aims to heighten the level of awareness about these related topics among our target groups, which range from the educational system to the media and public in general.
